Day trading strategies for stock market today

Speaking on day trading guide for Wednesday, Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, “The short term trend of Nifty remains weak and the downside momentum has started to pick up from the lower highs. One may expect Nifty to slide down to the important support zone of around 16,800 to 16,700 levels in the next few sessions, before showing another round of upside bounce from the lows. Immediate resistance for Nifty is placed at 17,130 to 17,150 levels.”

On Nifty technical outlook, Ruchit Jain, Lead Research at 5paisa.com said, “Technically, it would be crucial to see how far this correction goes as if Nifty breaks the recent swing low of 16,750 going ahead, then it will be seen as a five wave impulsive decline from the recent high of 18,100 which would mean a downtrend which would have further large correction with in between pullbacks. On the flipside, if the index doesn’t break the swing low of 16,750 and surpasses above 17,200, then one should reassess the markets as it could then lead to short covering.” The Eliot Wave expert went on to add that until there’s change in the data, it’s better to stay with the trend.

On Bank Nifty index, Ruchit Jain of 5paisa.com said that immediate support for the index is placed at 38,465 while major support for the banking index lies at 38,270 levels. He said that Nifty Bank index is facing immediate hurdle at 39,020 while major hurdle for the index is placed at 39,370 levels.
